Walking is an easy way to become healthier. According to The Mayo Clinic, taking regular walks may help you lose weight, prevent heart disease and type 2 diabetes, and boost your mood. How to step it up:
- Take small, movement-filled breaks throughout the day.
- Take your dog for a stroll.
- Volunteer to walk dogs at your local animal shelter.
- Pace while you’re on the phone.
- Think of housecleaning as exercise.
- Whenever it's an option, take the stairs.
- Ask your company to provide you a treadmill desk.
- Always choose a parking spot far away from the door.
- Make it a practice to walk after every meal, even if it's only for 10 or 15 minutes.
- No matter where you’re going, take the longest on-foot route possible.
- Coach a kids' team.
- Get off your bus a stop or two early.
- Play with your kids or grandkids.
- Plan a walking date with your significant other.
- Walk in place during television commercials.
- Take up gardening.
- Take up photography and use it as an excuse to visit parks and other spots with great scenery.
- Hike. No matter what shape you’re in, hiking can adapt to fit your current condition.
- Act as “server,” filling other people’s coffee cups at the office.
- Buy a step counter to make walking more fun.
- Drink plenty of water. You won’t feel like moving if you’re dehydrated.
- Partner up with a friend and hold each other accountable.
- Get the kids involved.
- Keep a journal.
- Celebrate your success.
Most humans begin walking around their first birthdays. There’s no reason to slow down now.
